Kenyon Martin

K. Mart was been one of the baddest dudes to put on a Nuggets jersey and was a guy who definitely meant business when on the court. Kenyon was the Nuggets instigator during his seven year tenure with the team between the 2004-2011 seasons. Kenyon was on the team the same time as Nene and they both formed a pretty good enforcer connection when on the court.

Kenyon also posted some pretty good stats in his Nuggets career averaging 12.3 points per game and 7 rebounds per game. It’s almost crazy how close those stats are to Nene’s Denver career and Kenyon was also part of six different Nuggets playoffs team. Kenyon will always go down as a great Nugget and should definitely be on the list of greatest Nuggets enforcers.

Next: Vegas' hopes for Denver

Hopefully this list gets a few more additions over the next couple of seasons and possibly a few guys stepping up to give the Nuggets that attitude and edge they are looking for. It’s certainly something the team needs for this upcoming season and could help potentially put them over the top this season.
